I missed filming the best part Ms. Creek because I had to stand on the ladder to keep if from tipping. That's just about the time her shorts got stuck on the gutter board. I thought she was going to end up coming down the ladder in her underwear.

Great video but poor baby! Hope her hands are doing ok.

And the reason for her going up there in the first place was what? to clean the gutters?

I always make sure I get ladders that are short enough to keep me out of trouble.

I don't see any trees around... I suspect she wasn't cleaning the gutters.

I hope the view was worth it. (giggle)

I like how you think Jude. Short ladders is a great idea! That ladder is so heavy anyway it's a pain to move it.

Correct Chewy - no trees and nothing in the gutters. But she apparently had the urge to check anyway. She reminded me of a cat stuck in a tree.

Hey Shrinky! Well, I told her I hid a 12 pack of Sam Adams on the roof and up she went. Seriously, I think she just wanted to go up there and flash the neighbor. Which she almost did when her shorts got stuck on the gutter thingy.

I had to get Fran down off our roof one time, she went up to put Christmas lights around the chimney (one story house), and was too scared to come down by herself.

Hope those hands are better today.

Oh lord I did the same thing once- it took me a long time to have the courage to come down.

Things For Which To Be Thankful

My two nieces have had some health issues lately. First E was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. She ended up with a five day stay. Then my other niece S spent twelve hours in the ER due to a pain in her side (no, it wasn't me). Not feeling up to par can really bring you down. So I am sending them both some well wishes here today and hopefully convincing them that there are worse things in life. There is 80's hair: Oh, and a couple of more things to add to the list: red shag carpet and wrist corsages. Rock me like a hurricane girls, but you sure are pretty in pink (and black). Hey - didn't you have a cat that got lost at one point. I think I see it. ADDENDUM - THOSE PICTURES ARE NOT OF ME. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. TO BE FAIR, I HAVE POSTED MY 80'S PIC BELOW:

Oops, I Did It Again

A while back I did a post about super-gluing a Mickey Mouse figurine to my middle finger. This time I have somehow gotten a ring stuck on the same finger. And I can't get it off. I put the ring on yesterday afternoon. I knew I was going to have trouble as soon as I shoved it past my knuckle. My finger is starting to get a little sore from all the tugging and possibly a little swollen, which is obviously not helping matters. Doesn't the Universe realize I can't possibly drive to work in Boston without complete and total use of this finger? It is as necessary for the commute as is a tank of gas. How will I convey my true feelings to the "left hand turn from the right lane" folks I encounter every day? I cannot be mute for my commute! Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions on how to remove the ring 1) without removing my finger and 2) while keeping the ring intact I would greatly appreciate it.

You Are Hereby Put On Official Notice

-
...that I am outta City Hall in three weeks. I am giving my notice at work on Monday, something I hate to do. I have been very worried about the economic climate and my continued status as a dependent contractor at my current organization. My position is funded until June, but with a freeze both on hiring and overtime and worsening conditions, I feel I need to get out while I can. Being a contractor affords me no unemployment insurance and if things continue as they are, I think jobs will be harder to come by as June nears. I have accepted a position at a University in the Boston area. The commute will still pretty much stink, but it is a 35 hour week and there is the opportunity to work remotely (i.e. from my dining room) one day a week. I am really looking forward to joining this organization and very excited to be working in higher ed. Giving my notice is going to be very tough. I have been with my current organization, as both a full time employee and a contractor, for over 8 years...
